Today’s conversation about the silencing of black women’s voices is perfectly illustrated in this Breakfast Club interview clip featuring Keke Palmer.
And it all began with DJ Envy gaslighting her sexual intimidation experience with: “wAs iT a mISunDeRStanDiNg?”
Kanye couldn’t get Lauryn Hill’s vocal sample cleared for “All Falls Down” so Ye & John Monopoly flew down to Miami & went door to door looking for her. She eventually cleared her vocals, then denied. Syleena Johnson came in at the literal last minute & re-sang it saving the song
Black Trump Supporters singing “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar is one of the most oxymoronic things I’ve ever seen.
Did they LISTEN to the song?
Or the album?!
I think what has surprised me most about all this music discourse is that some of y’all genuinely DON’T enjoy house music.
Meanwhile, this is me in the car + the club:
Angelica Ross has exposed Ryan Murphy’s scrapped plan for a Black women-lead season of “American Horror Story” starring Keke Palmer and Gabourey Sidibe!
A little context, if you care to listen: I find myself in a sh*t position.
The man that I love sat me down last night, and he told me that it’s over.
DUMB decision.
I told my daughter she couldn't go see the Barbie movie because it's PG-13 and she's 9.
She was like "the PG stands for parental guidance. You're my parent, so guide me to the movies."
That cackle was because Ed Sheeran tried to play her + Tiny out of a writing credit, and they got added on with the QUICKNESS before they pulled out a lawsuit. 😂
Seeing the quotes saying they’re tired of her performing this…y’all would’ve HATED Carrie Underwood back in 2006/2007.
“Before He Cheats” took 38 WEEKS to crack the Top 10 on the Hot 100. 😭
What’s the name of that song that be like:
sksbibedbopeskipbebedoooooafashsjwnwnrbrhrhshsheiejrhrurhrhfdgsudkskwjajsjrht whoooah!!!
I can’t find it! Help! 😭
I am VERY excited to hear a single/project from Halle Bailey. I’ve always been drawn to her voice, her jazz sensibilities, when she chooses to use her vibrato and the way she plays with melodies.
This cover STILL haunts me, months later!
Janice Burgess, creator of The Backyardigans has sadly passed away at 72. Beyond creating that show, she was the vice president of Nick Jr, and had a hand in many Nick/Nick Jr shows, such as Gullah Gullah Island, Bubble Guppies, Tania, Winx Club, and many more. RIP 💚
